Rubykicks Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I found this mandible (I think) near Bloomington, Indiana over the weekend and was wondering if anyone could give me an ID on it. I believe it's the mandible of a rodent, but that's about as far as I get. Seems to large for a mouse or rat, but maybe a muskrat, shrew (if those are bigger?), or squirrel? And I'm guessing it's more recent rather than fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Looks recent, not fossil. I agree with rabbit. It's better if you do not hold your fossils. Place them on a flat surface, and take pictures from directly above the specimen, please. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
